The KANU party has reported the abduction of its digital communications officer, Cornelius Ronoh, who was allegedly seized outside a barber shop near Nyayo Gate B in Fedha, Embakasi East, on Monday evening.
In an official statement released Tuesday morning, KANU's director of communications, Manasse Nyainda, confirmed the incident, describing it as a brazen and targeted attack.
"Mr. Ronoh, an active digital political commentator, has become the newest victim of outright abductions of people civically engaged about the failure of the country’s public policy decisions," Nyainda stated.
The party expressed deep concern over the rising trend of abductions targeting young people actively involved in public discourse, particularly through digital platforms.
"The proliferation of gangland-style kidnappings of young people articulating public policy issues affecting them through digital spaces herald a grim future for the rule of law in this country," Nyainda added.
KANU has taken immediate legal steps, dispatching its lawyers to report the matter at the nearest police station in Embakasi East.
The party has called on authorities to take swift action, either to release Ronoh or to formally charge him if he is suspected of any wrongdoing.
"We unequivocally call on the authorities to produce Mr. Ronoh in any court of competent jurisdiction to stand trial if he is deemed to have committed any offense under the law," Nyainda urged.
